Resolving Your Divorce With Mediation

How Mediation Can Be A Successful Way To Resolve Your Pending Divorce Matters

Like collaborative law, mediation is a way couples can amicably resolve their divorce outside of the courtroom. The method offers the opportunity for people to take control of their divorce and make their own decisions.

Mediation is mandatory in the state of Florida for individuals seeking a divorce. Couples are encouraged to make an effort to resolve their disputes before litigating their matters.

The Florida Mediation Process

In mediation, both parties are represented by an attorney with a neutral mediator present. The mediator's job is to encourage the parties to discuss their needs with each other. The job of each attorney is to offer guidance on the decisions the parties make and the legal consequences associated.

Together, everyone works to find a solution to the issues involved. Agreements on issues are then compiled in writing, signed by each party and binding.

If all matters cannot be resolved through mediation, the remaining issues will proceed to family court.
